champion, develop, empower
I am a professional and personal coach, team development facilitator and, systems and relationship coach. I am here to help you:
thrive and flourish in your life and work
be the best leader you can be
rise to overcome and enjoy all the challenges life and work bring to you.
grow your team to be high performing
I work from a place of warmth and humour and will champion, develop and empower you to live by your values, face your fears and courageously go for your dreams.
Using the power of co-active coaching and a distinctive voice, I enable you and your team to become your best selves - supporting you to thrive in both life and work.
My training, philosophy and background
I am a certified Co-Active Coach trained by the Co-Active Training Institute (CTI) and a member of the International Coach Federation, certified as a Professional Certified Coach (PCC).
I have also trained to work as a relationship and systems coach which enables me to facilitate team development workshops and coach teams supporting their growth towards high performance. My training was with the world renowned Organisation and Relationship Systems Coach ORSCM training series.
My fundamental philosophy and beliefs are underpinned by the coaching relationship between the coach and the client. I believe it an equal relationship where transformational change in the client is the responsibility of both.
As the coach, I employ skills and processes using the principles of coaching and I absolutely trust you hold the answers. I also believe when working with teams we shift the focus from the individuals' intelligence to the shared group intelligence. And trusting this allows solutions to emerge naturally from the team.
Through my training and through my own coaching relationship with an accredited CPCC coach, I am able to employ strategies to be more engaged in the moment and to address my balance between the 'doing' and the 'being'.
Consequently, I champion a healthy work-life balance, a more mindful approach to how we live, and an inquisitive, growth mindset in all we do.
“Trish is a fantastic coach!
She brings great humour and warmth to our sessions which makes me feel safe to step out of my comfort zone and take risks...
I highly recommend this powerhouse coach for anyone in need of a shift and transformation in their life.”

I am firmly committed to the power of coaching to bring out the best in our teams and ourselves and in helping us grow and flourish in both life and work.
Coaching enables us to reflect on difficult situations and address them from different perspectives. It gives us courage to live by our values, face our fears and go for our dreams.
Having many years of senior leadership experience, I have been engaged as a personal leadership coach to many executive, senior and middle leaders, helping them to successfully grow as leaders. I have coached leadership teams in working towards a more effective collective, to steer transitional change, and to effectively lead and participate in high performing teams.
From coaching with me, you will take away strategies to deal with your life, a commitment to your values and a knowledge of how and who to draw upon in times of challenge and uncertainty.
Who are you?
There are many psychometric tests or assessment tools where we can continue our journey of self-awareness and emotional intelligence.
I am an advocate for the wonders of the Enneagram and a certified practitioner in using it.
The Enneagram
This is an incredible guide for your journey towards self-discovery and awareness. It offers insight to you, your team or your community and provides an in-depth and rich resource to personal development, relationship building, conflict resolution and the improvement of team dynamics.
There are nine different enneagram styles which represent a worldview and archetype that resonates with your core motivations.
What type most represents you?
I’d like to listen to you. To champion, develop and empower you.
